The thing is: I never hated this game. I loved it from day one, hour one. I never felt that my expectations hadn’t been met. Then again, I do not like the Witcher games at all. None of them, and I tried to play them all when they were relased (because the books are ok-ish), and again later on when they got upgrades…

She could make it so with her money though. She seems spiteful enough to make sure some of your purchase goes towards anti trans causes. Therefore even if you don't agree with her you would literally be supporting her point of view.

What a ❄️, jeez

Separating the art from the artist is a method of critical analysis. It’s a rhetorical device meant to evaluate the work on its own merits. Like if a novel has a female villain and the author went through a messy divorce with his wife you might connect the two so you separate the art from the artist to ensure you’re…

I mean, those people would probably champion it even if it released with as many bugs as Cyber Punk and a shittier narrative than that "visual novel" that was just an overpriced screed on MRA style shit, with bland uninspired graphics and production.

Honestly, Rowling’s supporters really love their double standards. They’ll go out of their way to proclaim every Harry Potter project to be the greatest creative work in the history of the universe just because their idol’s name is attached to it, but then the moment someone has something negative to say, they demand…

You cant separate the art from the artist when the ‘art’ is what keeps her relevant and influential enough to promote transphobia on a massive scale.

Maybe they took issue with the “virulent” part?

Just read the article dummy, it’s not clickbaity at all and is a thoughtful exploration of the issue

Oh she’s definitely a transphobe.

Since when are spoilers against the rules?

To echo a comment I made on a previous kotaku article (that seems only to get more relevant as more information/episodes are released) It’s not surprising that the changes they’re making seem to bizarrely not understand the appeal of source material. Case in point, toning down the violence - The reasoning behind this…

Changing the context of this scene feels like a weird choice, especially when the payoff is this pretty tasteless ending for that character. It feels like out of place exploitation.

Being disliked because of your personality, views and actions isn’t cancel culture, it’s just people not liking you or your work. It’s a part of the package deal of making something to entertain people. There’s is a chance you suck so much that people don’t like your work anymore. That’s just consequences.

I don’t like the vertical, but the thing is so freaking huge that it’s just legitimately easier to find space for it that way.

Maybe I’m weird but console design—and I mean the literal design of the case the hardware sits inside—seems deeply out of touch with reality. Both the Series X and PS5 are designed to sit vertically by default with the horizontal placement feeling like, at best, a concession. Do people want vertical consoles? It feels…

Never takes long for a Musk bro to show up and post something cringy and hilarious.
